October 08, 2020 05:22 - 19 minutes - 17.7 MB

In this episode Fetty Wap my dog makes a couple of special appearances, so heads up but don't worry she doesn't wreck the episode. However, I talk more in detail about this month's theme.

We will be talking about the things we fear most. In this episode we begin to visualize our own "haunted house" and what lives within... a good conv...

Learning to ride the wave

September 10, 2020 23:35 - 20 minutes - 19.2 MB

Ladies and gents, this is a little repeat but not for me, I have shared this information on a podcast that I love and I listen to religiously called "A Damas Guide To..." and I shared about this on a post but never a podcast, so I figured you probably needed it from me directly. I am so grateful to get this little perspective to you and can't wait for ya'll to listen, because I feel like it's such a goodie and such an opportunity to reflect. Who knows you may even miss the beach by the end l...

Story time with Sylvia

July 15, 2020 04:02 - 23 minutes - 22.2 MB

I know this Pandemic has really affected all of us in many different ways. In this episode I share a story and because of course it's always a usual of mine, I share both sides of the coin around going back to school. Please know and understand, that I don't mean to fight, because I can honestly see and understand where both sides are coming from, this episode is solely for the purpose of shifting perspective, and validating all sides. 

"Don't tell me how to feel"

July 13, 2020 00:14 - 21 minutes - 19.8 MB

Sylvia is baaaaacccccckkkkk, ready to serve up some solid gems. This track is for the strong ones, who always tend to power through, tend to rally, because the strong ones are always met with "stay strong" and "you'll be okay". However, they just haven't met, "Don't tell me how to feel!" Because it's valid! This one is for my strong ones. 

Patience-in a whole new lens

April 28, 2020 18:03 - 17 minutes - 16.4 MB

You might be thinking to yourself, hmm patience, I am the furthest thing from that right now... This is for you.  This is an opportunity to find a lesson, learn, love, and find your own gold star through this.  Shifting your perspective and recognizing the incredible being you are by the end.  This is for you. 

Finding your superpower

April 21, 2020 23:23 - 20 minutes - 19.1 MB

This track is inspired by my husband. He's the reason I have a new lens on this. We walk through, finding your super power, but don't worry not in a business sense, and we talk about reaffirming your truth. A good light hearted talk about these topics, you almost feel like you're out for coffee with me. Thanks for listening. Tu amiga, Sylvia

The Ultimate OG's Grace and Gratitude

November 20, 2019 14:21 - 18 minutes - 17.1 MB

I jumped the gun a little bit, I know Thanksgiving is next week, but let's be real, starting next week everyone will be consumed with where they're going, who they're seeing, what they're wearing, what they're cooking, and grocery shopping that I wanted to take the time to have this conversation with y'all.  We dig into Grace and Gratitude, and I leave y'all with some good questions at the end of this episode to marinade in. Lots of food for thought on this track. PS, sorry in advanced for m...

"Y el novio?"

November 12, 2019 18:27 - 20 minutes - 18.6 MB

Don't worry I know this title is in Spanish but for all my non-spanish speaking people, it's okay because this episode caters to call. I break down what this phrase means and how easy it is for us to wind up in situations (especially during the holidays) from extended family and friends to ask super direct questions, when in reality we shouldn't have to give an answer. Take some gems from this episode as we dive into having those conversations, and how to redirect the conversation. We are co...
